Â鶹´«Ã½ lending revenues declined by 20 per cent year-on-year (YoY) to US$1.03 billion for April, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence data.

There was a 26 per cent decline YoY in American equities to US$389 million, while EMEA equities fell 36 per cent to US$138 million.

Asia remained the stand out region among the equity market, generating US$175 million over the month, though declining 4 per cent YoY.

A similar pattern could be seen across the fixed income markets with revenues declining three per cent YoY across government bonds to US$151 million, and falling 25 per cent across corporate bonds to US$75 million. Average fees declined YoY across the board.

Commenting on the figures, Matt Chessum, director of securities finance at S&P Global Market Intelligence, says: “On first glance these revenue numbers may not look very good but it is important to remember the context that we are seeing these in.â€

He explains that 2023 was an exceptional year for securities lending revenues and that any comparison to last year will therefore look somewhat unfavourable.

Continuing on, he adds: “When compared to any other year other than 2023, these revenue numbers look pretty robust and show that the market activity remains in good shape.â€
